Lake Lanier Waterfront Home Sales For QTR1 2017 Versus QTR1 2016! A Quick Look At The Trend!

Lake Lanier Waterfront Home Sales For QTR1 2017 Versus QTR1 2016!  A Quick Look At The Trend!

We are really anxious to get into the details of what's going on here with the Lake Lanier waterfront home sales trends. We did a quick comparison this morning, looking at 2017 First Quarter Home Sales versus 2016 First Quarter Home sales. If you look at the tale of two charts below, it appears that 2017 is off by about 9% to 10%, when compared to the sales from 2016 in the same time period. We hope to get a few more details on this as we continue to research. We'll have to dig on these numbers a bit more to get additional trends. But for now, things appear to be a little bit slower out of the gate in 2017.

Another Lake Lanier Home Sold! We've Closed On 2938 Waterford Drive In Gainesville, GA.

Congratulations to our client/sellers on the sale of their waterfront Lake Lanier home located at 2938 Waterford Drive in Gainesville!

This was a fantastic, Lake Lanier waterfront home with a single slip dock located in deep water just minutes from Gainesville CBD and all in town amenities! Highlighted by three bedrooms, three baths, a vaulted living room, master bedroom on the main level, a kitchen/dining room combo layout, large screened porch, full basement, two driveways, a car/boat garage plus additional storage area in the rear of the home. The lot was level to gently sloped with a golf cart path to the lake shoreline. The wide cove setting with excellent drought resistance and room to move deeper were big selling features! The new owners of this lake property will enjoy the coveted lake lifestyle with all of the benefits of living close in!

Details Of This Lake Lanier Home Sale

The new owners plan to do extensive renovations including an addition off of the kitchen area to open the floor plan and take advantage of available space provided by the side area of the lot.  This home had excellent water frontage, and at the time of the sale with the lake level down 10 feet, the dock was still comfortably floating in deep, open water!

Many thanks to Joni Tuttle of Pathway Homes Realty for her skilled guidance in working with the home buyers in this transaction.

Lake Lanier Homes For Sale Inventory Versus Lake Lanier Home Sales! What Is Going On?

What is going on with available inventory of Lake Lanier homes for sale? Over the weekend, I was doing a little number crunching and noticed that the number of home sales on Lake Lanier was actually down a little bit compared to last year. I was only looking at January and February 2017 versus January and February 2016. As it turns out, prices were up, but the number of home sales was down. I think that anyone looking for a Lake Lanier home right now would vouch for the fact that the inventory seems to be really tight! And judging by the look of this chart one might make the argument that when inventory is down, well, so are our sales. Take a look at the chart below and let me know what you see! Right now, I think we need two things. We need more rain (more water in the lake) and we need more homes for sale.  If we can just get those things, excitement will return and I bet more sales will too!
